Alpine Cycle Tours is an established venture capitalising on the personal experience of a dedicated group of Australians who know and understand cycling in and around the Alpine regions of Europe. Alpine Cycle Tours is managed by Chris Varcoe and organises several tours each European summer between June and September, depending on the level of bookings taken. Groups are kept small, up to 7 riders and tours are pre-determined, except in the case of group bookings that request a tailor-made tour that suits their specific requirements. While tours are organised from an Australian base, riders are free to join them from United States, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain as well as from different countries in Europe by meeting at the pre-determined departure point. Chris Varcoe and his team have an intimate knowledge of the alpine areas of the five countries on offer and are able to ensure that all riders enjoy the hospitality of the townsfolk and the charm of their historic communities and villages, not to mention the thrill of riding through some of the most picturesque country to be encountered anywhere in the world. Chris speaks fluent English and German and has spent several years living, working, riding as well as racing and leading small tours on an amateur basis in Europe and as a result has been able to put together a variety of tours pitched to meet the needs of almost any cyclist who is enthusiastic about their sport.
